SHOPS - Physical Description 1
The shops at 385-391 Sydney Road, Coburg are two storey shop fronts which are altered at street level but are reasonably intact to the upper storey. The shops are typical of interwar shopping strips, constructed from render and clinker brick, with a gabled glazed terracotta tiled roof, terminated by painted rendered brick parapets. The bulding is symmetrical, divided into five bays. The first and last bay have a single double hung sash window with a clinker brick border to all four sides; the two innner bays have decorative false rendered gable ends/parapets flanked by clinker brick pillars and a pair each of round-arched niches contained double hung sash windows separated by a stylised engaged column; and the central bay, which is double width, has a pair of double hung sash window with a clinker brick border to all four sides. Other details include: decorative relief motifs to the gable ends; bracketed sills under the niches; and dentilated clinker brick course under the eave line. There is a remnant chimney at the rear in the group of shops.
